-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be very careful about imbalances in our eating habits and lack of sleep.
By following a good heathy rhythm and lifestyle
let's find creative ways to prevent fatigue from accumulating.
Let's endeavour to live every day of our lives healthily
and subsequently victoriously!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Surmounting every challenge with confidence and dignity, no matter how difficult the way forward, imparting courage to all, and forging onward together to savour the joy of victory—that is the way of true champions of kosen-rufu.

"In a letter to the Ikegami brothers who were battling obstacles that had arisen on the path of faith, Nichiren Daishonin writes: "Put into flames, a rock simply turns to ashes, but gold becomes pure gold" (WND-1, 497). Overcoming hardships that test both body and spirit is what forges genuine character. Enduring arduous trials in life, including crises at work and serious illness, enables one to become a golden pillar of strength."
